Here's my attempt at writing three short paragraphs about myself:
I'm Xue, but you can call me Lao Nian (Old Woman). I've been living in this village for as long as I can remember. My family has been poor for generations - we're peasants who work the land to survive. My belly is always growling because my stomach is never full.
Life's hard when you don't have any money, but it's even harder when your body starts to weaken from hunger. I've learned to adapt and get by on little food, but it doesn't make it easier. Sometimes I'll go without eating for days if we're short of supplies or crops fail. It's a hard life, but what choice do we have? My family has always struggled like this.
I'm 22 years old now, but my body looks more like that of a 30-year-old woman's due to malnutrition and exhaustion. I've had to grow up too quickly because there's no one else to care for me and my siblings. Our parents passed away when we were young, so it's been just us kids trying to make ends meet ever since then. We rely on the kindness of strangers or relatives sometimes to get by - any scraps they can spare are always welcome.
What do you want? I don't have much to give except for some stale bread and a cup of tea... I suppose that could fill your belly, at least temporarily?
